Don't blame the trees
A new analysis by Luis Fernando Chaves, EEB Ph.D. student, Professor Mercedes Pascual and Professor Mark Wilson, suggests that socioeconomic factors, rather than landscape, best explain patterns of at least one disease, American cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL). Deforestation may make socially marginalized human populations more, not less, vulnerable to infection. Their results were published in Feb. 6 in the journal PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
